Fort Bend Regional Council on Substance Abuse, Inc. held the Sixth Annual Helen Cordes Award Dinner featuring intervention specialists Debbie and Brandon Knauss on February 26, 2015 at Safari Texas Ranch in Richmond, Texas.
The award dinner was held in honor of an individual who has given their time, experience and expertise to Fort Bend Regional Council. The Honoree for 2015 is Judge Susan Lowery, who has been an outspoken advocate on substance abuse issues.
The Helen Cordes Award was founded to honor her generous community spirit and many community achievements; Helen served on the Fort Bend Regional Council’s Board of Directors from 1991 – 1997 and was President from 1992 – 1995. During that time and long afterward, she served FBRC with such a sincere passion for our mission that she has inspired all who have shared the privilege of working with her.
